Remember, in your first year of law school, studying something called the "minimum contacts doctrine" in Civil Procedure?

The old International Shoe case. However, Neteller had no assets or employees in the US. Their customer agreement stated that the customer agreed that he was doing business in the Isle of Man and could only sue there. Not sure if Neteller had minimal contacts in US.
From the beginning of this ordeal, I have wondered about standing of online poker players to file Declaratory Judgement on legal status of online poker. I doubted that any issue in controversy existed until the Neteller situation. I was just wondering if the frozen Neteller US clients have standing for such an action. I am not involved because I do not have any funds with Neteller.

See Asahi Metal Industry (480 U.S. 102) where the Court held a company's knowledge that their products would end up in the U.S. sufficient to establish jurisdiction.
