The court finds that it has general jurisdiction over Citibank and Citigroup due to their continuous business operations in the Virgin Islands. The court denies the motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and improper venue, asserting that the Virgin Islands is a proper venue under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(a). The court also denies the request to transfer the case to New York, despite the defendants' arguments regarding jurisdiction and venue clauses in agreements.
