Once again if you dont mind, which court will you be filing in?

I'm also an attorney. FYI, to those of you who don't think US courts have jurisdiction over Neteller -- you're dead wrong. OP could file in pretty much any Federal court. Neteller's substantial and continuous contact with US customers establishes jurisdiction.

For Christ's sake, the first thing they teach you in Civil Procedure is the case where an Argentenian helicopter company was successfully sued in Federal court, even though it had no US based offices and did no business with US suppliers. Minimum contacts doctrine ftw.

if you're referring to Helicopteros Nacionales (466 U.S 408) you'd be wrong. SCOTUS held in that case that the Colombian company's mere purchases of helicopters in TX did not satisfy the minimum contacts test and consequently fell outside the reach of their long-arm statute

Maybe he didnt take notes on the first thing they taught him.
