The British colonial extraterritorial companies got up to some loving wild poo poo back in the day. These were for-profit enterprises that were given a free hand to legislate and rule huge swathes of land however they liked. Kidnapping and murder of indigenous community leaders were the least of their crimes.
The archive I work for has a bunch of papers from the British East Africa Co., and I really don't think they make a positive case for corporate extraterritoriality.
The British South Africa Company became (eventually) Rhodesia, and we all know how that loving turned out.

Of course not. They went bankrupt trying to build some ridiculous boondoggle railway line, and had to be bailed out by the government. But not before nearly starting a war between Britain and France (or maybe Germany, I forget) by stoking up sectarian and ethnic conflicts between Protestant and Catholic convert communities in a sort of DIY divide-and-rule scheme that resulted in several missionaries getting killed.

strip club owners want the robot strippers so patrons can tip them in bitcoin, but the stripper robots aren’t sentient, thus the owner can pocket all the crypto and hodl
