So after capturing the Bugman, getting disappointed by the `great treasure` I carried him all the way to stoat where I turned him in for the 100k bounty. Later I saw him being moved to the slave market, so I went there hoping to buy him and get him in my squad. He turned hostile so I knocked him unconscious and noticed he still had the 100k bounty, so I turned his bounty in again. You can do this indefinitely getting 80k profit every time (you buy him for 20k from the slavers).
PS: I just remembered there is a small typo in one of the cannibal notes in, a missing letter somewhere can't really remember where (didn't take the notes so I can't check either)

It's just a matter of adding the repition limit to those unique bounty dialogs, might be just an oversight. Although the problem could persist for non unique bounties.

Actually might be more complicated than that if declining implies the dialog will not repeat.

I have a 975.000 bounty on my thief, Hobbs. I picked him up and turned him in to claim those cats and then proceeded to break him out. I now have a thief with 975..000 cats in his pocket.

The bounty is still there so I reckon I could do it as many times as I want, but I won't.
we're all still learning how to be better people (well, some of us.)

Capital punishment to high bounty npcs easily solve this problem. No more repetition (you can turn him in, but your thief's life worth 975.000c?) xP

EDIT: And about Bugman, its a game breaking bug any exploitation turn him in several times - its not cats that matter, you can break the diplomacy with him. Like the shek was my choice and its 100.000c, +130 rep (and -40 with holy nation) and a 35 all stats recruit (Seto). Don't know about the others rewards (he is a great punching bag, so I honestly don't care to turn him a second time when importing), but I can guess everybody wants a piece of him.
