I built this circuit with [Falstad][1] (with transistor \$\beta = 100\$) and my result is 2.582 mA through AM1 and 258.206 mA through AM2 (towards the negative side of the battery), in particular, even **more** current leaves the collector (in the wrong direction) than the emitter.

Why doesn't the transistor block current from the base to the collector? It this not what a transistor should do? How can I prevent this behaviour?
