Mirror protocol. https://mirror.finance/

It wasn't buying an equity, it was buying a token that was the same price as the equity. Buying the token had no effect on the upward price of the equity. I can see why the SEC is protective of that, for sure.

The bigger issue is that Mirror was hacked and nobody knew about it, for seven months. https://rekt.news/mirror-rekt/
