So it sounds like they limit the bounty amount for other players to curb the chance of abuse by racking up massive bounties KSing then rinse and repeat to get the $$ for bigger ships quickly?

Yes, 1.3 did set limits on the bounties to 1 million per minor faction to shit down people bounty farming. This was part of the Crimes and Punishment discussion on the main forum.
