- havetocharge 6y agoWikipedia says that it's under the jurisdiction of the Federal government of the United States. So maybe depends on how you define 'government'? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve
- dmurray 6y agoMaybe it depends how you define "under the jurisdiction". Every citizen and corporation in the US is subject to the government's jurisdiction.
