Everytime I see a screen of 20kk +

It's not especially hard to earn millions legitimately. Remember, some of those players have been at it since gamma/release doing trade runs. Just because someone has a fair amount of credits banked doesn't mean they used the fine/bounty exploit. They got theirs fairly.
Hell, you can rack up several million just chasing bounties on NPCs all day. I'm pretty sure the NPCs didn't exploit to get there.

You'd literally have to spend all day to do that bounty hunting though. Unless you were bounty hunting human players who purposely racked up insane bounties.
Anyway. What is this kk thing? It's annoying the hell out of me.

kk = million. It was (is) an EVE term.
K = thousand. 20kk is twenty thousand thousand.
That's why i was feeling the vomit rise in my throat when i was reading it.
I've made 20 million without exploiting once and I mostly play like an idiot. I also deleted my gamma save and started fresh on the 16th of December.
edit - it's a lot tougher now granted with the nerfs to BH and Seeking Luxuries. Rare trading is still pretty good if you need to make a couple of million in a couple of hours.

Every time I see a screen shot with those kind of money balance, i can help myself to think about the fine/bounty exploit.
This is a great turn off for me, since I love fair play.
What a shame
I've been playing since 12th December, at least 4-5hrs a day (3 weeks on holiday I played over 12hrs daily), and generated through legitimate trade grinding 320,000,000 cr profit.
You don't have to cheat to generate large sums of money on ED, you just have to put in the time.

That kind of money can be ground out in an easy weekend with a big hauler. Not the most interesting weekend to be sure, barring being dicted by an Anaconda, pretty profitable.
OP is talking about bounties of 20MCr, not how much can be made trade grinding.
I could have done that had I done nothing else tbh. Granted it's likely to be an exploit in many cases, but there will be plenty of legit 20m+ bounty hunters out there too.
There are people who made Billions already, you need over a billion for Elite in trade rank and it's not hard it's very time consuming but it's doable. I stopped at 360 mil myself and haven't traded since because I can no longer cope.
Sorry, should have read more closely. Yeah, no 20 mill in bounties is pretty difficult to achieve, but I think it's doable as well.

Ahh.. When he wrote 'money balance', I took that to mean actual cash balances, not the posted bounty on someone.
Those numbers aren't hard to reach right now, given the whacky bug introduced in the last update. One guy ended up with a 14 million credit fine for having a hold full of 'illegal' commodities that he had just purchased at that station.
Rightio. Well, made just over a mil in a RES over the course of a couple of hours before. 20 mil...busy day.
My bad, fair enough.... to be honest though 20M in bounties isn't hard....
I'm a trader 90% of the time and with 448 bounties I've collected 5,089,780 crs.
With 106 combat bonds another 270,000cr and over 6m in assassination profits.
I think 20m in bounties isn't difficult to achieve.

I don't understand why the amount of money other players have matters. So what if other players are rich or poor? So what if other players are hard workers or pathetic cheats? None of that affects my game.
I enjoy wandering around trading, exploring, taking missions, viewing the occasional spectacular planet. I play the game for me, not to better other players. So, serious question: why should it matter what other players are doing?

Now, let us get this straight once and for all:
k = 1.000
m = 1.000.000
And I know. When I started out a couple of months back, I had much the same feeling. Looking at the millions others had when sifting through gameplay videos and whatnot to learn the ropes and the basic do and don't of the game. Seemed like an impossible task at the time.
It is however a matter of the first million being the hardest. Up to that point, all you are doing is spending credits just about as fast as you earn them. Upgrading your little yacht, getting a new one every so often.
Once in a Cobra though, things start to accelerate a bit. Before you know it, you've sunk 3-4 million into upgrading it, and have about the same saved up. So you start thinking, 'Hmmm, that Type 6 do look like a dog - it can't even fight its way out of a paper bag. A 104 tons of cargo space though... Hmmmm'.
From there on in you need to fight off the credits invading your account.
...just don't blow it all when getting an Asp and then spend so much on toys for it that it leaves your credits account pretty much vacant. Something known as the Asp syndrome may then suddenly strike, and when you post about it on this forum, the rest of us will have a quiet little chuckle. 'Oh look, another one!'
