nothing more than hustlers for organized prostitution rings around the world

Does the WORLD fall under US jurisdiction? I'm under the impression that the US is jurisdiction of the US...

For example, if I jaywalk in Bankok, can a NYC prosecutor nick me?

Let me change the scenario:

Let's say I take out magazine articles in NYC, prominently calling for conspirators to escort me to Manila for the express purpose of jaywalking there. Let's also say that in the process of doing so, I show that I have poor manners and questionable ethics.

Would a NYC prosecutor have the legal authority to prosecute me for this?

Big Apple Tours is based in New York. There was evidence provided to the DA's office with ways in which Big Apple Tours has violated New York State law.

But it doesn't matter. Judge Gerald Hayes dismissed the charges.
