The East India Company, one of the first major imperialist companies that went on to get military and governmental functions to loot the British colonies.

Together with the Dutch United East India Company, it is one of the most evil companies to ever exist for sure. They together looted, killed and destroyed Asia, Africa and South America and brought incredible wealth to Western Europe.

Edit: in The Netherlands we are actually thaught to be proud of this history, which is lacking any sort of commentary about how we completely fucked over entire countries.
