This thing is *durable*, too. Five years in and it looks basically new aside from some wrinkling on one of the gel armrests.
Since I doubt you can buy -6 shares...
Not literally, but you can sell 6 shares, or you can take the "short" side of a swap, future or other derivative transaction. These are conventionally represented as negative quantities. (The math works the same, so often you actually do write it as buying -6 contracts.) And the trade in question here is futures, not plain stock, where there's both a long and short side. Way more likely this was someone who intended to go short 6 contracts and entered -6, or a bug that dropped a negative "short" quantity into an inappropriate uint variable than some sort of malfeasance.
Does sound like some missing sanity checks though.
Torque is cheap.
