We impose an upper bound to the amount of agents wealth in binary exchanges, but when the upper bound is continuously lowered, then the entropy S decreases because the system exhibits more order. Furthermore, negative temperatures can mathematically obtained when the slope of the entropy as a function of the total energy (T = $(dS/dE)^{-1}$ ) is negative.
