the tape is the recorded changes in price of a security from buyers and sellers

Here's e-Mini explained succinctly.

What this means is that it was an investor who thought this wouldn't show because the price of e-Minis are low enough that their insider trading wouldn't be noticed in large volumes.

It's also possible it's a grifter without much ready cash, trading on margin in a low-priced security they could afford to sell off piecemeal. No idea, though.
