From what I read about this case the US threatened to withdraw BNP's US banking license. So even though the US does not actually have jurisdiction, they can choose to prevent a bank from trading in their country if they don't like their actions.


If a bank is operating in a country, then it seems obvious that that country's courts would have jurisdiction over it.
