I’ve not heard of anyone trying this. I imagine it’s a bad idea for a couple reasons:
most would-be patients live in countries where what you want is illegal
those would-be patients’ access to cryonics depends largely on cryonics organizations being in good standing with the local government in case they die unexpectedly or don’t want to travel far
even if you found a jurisdiction where you could do what you want it might have repercussions back where the organization is based and stores the brains/bodies because the home country/state/municipality might forbid import due to how the brain/body was obtained
the countries where would-be patients live might forbid them from contracting for such a service in a location where it is legal (compare the way some countries require their citizens follow national laws when abroad, and that such citizens can be prosecuted for actions they took in foreign nations)
I think if you wanted to do this you would need to find a jurisdiction that would be okay with this and be also otherwise suitable for basing a cryonics operation. My guess is the set of places that meet both criteria is empty. And this ignoring the patient access issues I mentioned. Since the current market for cryonics is quite small, my guess is that there just isn’t enough demand to make this happen, since I’m sure with enough demand you’d have the money to make a favorable jurisdiction suitable for basing a cryonics operation in.
