Bell Island is in Canada and subject to Canadian laws.
You need a country where the entire body of antitrust or competition law is rejected, which means that you need a small country where you can functionally own the government and make it pass laws that effectively make antitrust or competition laws unenforceable and then opt out of any international agreements stipulating cooperation with foreign governments in such cases.
You can't just bribe a few people to own
Canada. Think of a smaller nation, with fewer legislators and special interests that need bribing. Remember, you'd need to accomplish this fairly early in the history of this corporation, so when it was much smaller and less powerful, it had to have been able to pull it off.
