From looking around and reading am finding out the bonus given for achieving Rank V with ALD, replaces the bonus within Rank II. 'This is okay' is what I thought at first.. until I realized that anyone who is Rank V, no longer has to care what ALD's Galatic Rating is and can throw their weight to deposit it in quick systems or systems that favor bounty hunting than improving standing and being profitable by and large.. Someone of Rank V is no longer invested the same way a Rank IV member is. That doesn't quite sit right to me, maybe I am just overlooking some things?

IIRC Rank 5 Bonus stacks with ranking bonus from Tier 2
So when it is says that the bonuses were applied twice was a mistake, it meant that previously a Rank V could obtain up to 440% compared to the current maximum of 270% and not that the +50% and +100% stackings was an error?
For some reason, the stacked bounty rewards were applying twice in Control Systems. Now, I believe, the standard stacking that every other Power's bonus sees per CMDR rating and Galactic Standing is applying as intended (which is stacking Rating 2 and Rating 5 and Galactic Standing).
I never tested this myself, so I'm going off hearsay, but we're back at Rating 3, so maybe you can test it this week?
I think you mean + not times.. but where do you get the other 100%? Base + 20%(location) + 100%(Rank V) + 100%(???)
From what I can read online, it should be: Base + 20% (location) + 20% (Rating II) + 100% (Rating 5) + 10% (Galactic Standing #3).
I've never broken down bounty hunter earnings, so I don't know what we are actually seeing. I also don't know if any of those numbers have changed since June, which were when the posts I pulled them from were compiled.
Also note that in Control Systems, criminals should be getting double bounties for every crime they commit. So the Base bounty should already be roughly double in a control system than elsewhere. We are built to be a defensively minded Power, but instancing issues and the 24/7 nature of the game make actually defending our systems pretty inconvenient.
I was also under the impression that Rank V superseded the other rank bonuses. If this isn't the case, I best get back out there and grind some Federal Aid.
Bounty is say 100,000 to start with, you get 20% added at kill time giving us 120,000. That is then doubled when you see it in the transaction tab i.e. 240,000 and finally this is then doubled again when you claim it meaning you get 480,000 from your initial 100,000 kill

Which is why many people are saying it's an exploit, because there's nothing in the information that says it gets doubled multiple times. I thought FDev had fixed the duplication of the reward exploit. They said they did, didn't they?
No idea if they said they fixed it or not, personally I'm in no hurry for a fix
