12AKRNHpFhDSBDD9rSn74VAzZSL3774PxQ  A btc address like any other, but the amount displayed for this address seems to be  incorrect, any explanations?

yes, it is perfectly possible on a buggy platform called blockchain.info!
they actually used to show these kinds of stuff differently with a red warning on top of the page saying this address has done a double spend but i don't know why they removed it!

and this transaction is causing the bug in that block explorer: https://blockchain.info/tx/a35a5c0b334098c70bd2d955d0ecb23075eca72f42d3bf90b8a2f50fcddd07b9

and it is because the "balance" field is just a simple sum of (received - send) and since there is an additional "invalid" transaction which they don't drop for some weird reason the sum is negative.

To add to this for the people who has some difficulty understanding the difference between The Bitcoin Blockchain and  https://blockchain.info < Believe me, there are loads of them >

https://blockchain.info is a site with software or tools like a Block explorer that is used to represent the Bitcoin Blockchain < It puts it into a nice GUI for everyone to read more easily >

So what Pooya87 is saying is that the tools or the software that https://blockchain.info is using is buggy and not the actual Bitcoin Blockchain. ^smile^

Use Blockexplorer.com as a alternative for https://blockchain.info

If there is a sighting of an incorrect address what does Btc do with a negative balance?

Yeah it’s pretty normal for that to happen. Blockchain.info has a bug that makes the balance look like that, I am not that sure if you can spend the money on that account though there was plenty of people that found that bug to be fixed a few days after noticing it.
The last transaction is 2016-07-05 14:46:22. There is a possibility that it is not in use and regarding the bug maybe it has has not been updated. Also there are two transactions that has been sent with that same amount that is 0.00199614 which the other is an unconfirmed one also this number is identical with the final balance which the only difference is that it has a negative sign at the front: -0.00199614. All the transactions received is 0.20981835 BTC which match the total amount sent with the same value of 0.20981835 BTC that is the unconfirmed being not counted but if we count it it will become negative or the total amount sent would be greater than the amount received. I think this is what explains it. I don't know if it makes sense but this is the thing that is unusual which I formulate my logical reasoning with some computation.

Or can we just say a bug maybe?
