Somewhat off topic but it happens.
This is just some of it. Some notable names in here.
Quebecor
Rogers ( which played fast with its accounting from the sounds of it).
Not sure if the list that's been revealed thus far includes companies that bought shares back, or it's just those that paid dividends to shareholders. Which removes shares from the float ( shares available to buy/sell). So each remaining share has more value and it's price goes up ( capital appreciation). There's nothing illegal in what they did. Not defending it, just saying it's not illegal.
So where's the problem?
