We Brits are hardly ones to throw stones, but [[US attorney]]s have a tendency to suppose everyone knows about their jurisdiction, is in awe of it, and will have no objection to submitting to it. Every now and then you come across a [[counterparty]] in some far-flung backwater (continental {{tag|Europe}}, for example) who expresses bafflement or even affrontery at the thought of subjugating itself to the law of the [[:Category:US Securities Regulation|Americans]]. That this might happen takes some [[U.S. Attorney|Americans]] by surprise. Then again, the fact it takes some [[U.S. Attorney|Americans]] by surprise, takes everyone ''else'' by surprise. It is a fruitless task trying to get the bottom of who is most justifiably surprised but, for the record, it’s us. | |||
