The court finds that it has jurisdiction over Citibank and Citigroup in the Virgin Islands and that venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(a). The court denies the defendants' request to dismiss the case for improper venue and also denies the request to transfer the case to New York, as the balance of factors does not strongly favor transfer.
