For instance if you had 1000, the other guy who came 2nd had 1500 and the guy who busted had 1200.
All 3 of you go all in but you physicaly cannot knock out the 3rd guy because you have less chips than him, so in effect if you win, you take 1000 chips off each of them, and if the 2nd guy has a better hand than the 3rd guy, he will win his final 200 chips and take the bounty.
by the sounds of it you were the short stack of the 3 which means there is no way you can win the bounty as you cant knock anyone out. the other player who came 2nd in the hand will have had the other player covered meaning the bounty goes to them even if the side pot was only worth 10 chips
the reason he will get the bounty is you must have had a smaller chip stack than the villian who went out 2nd only comes when the loosing chip stack had to be split between 1st and second meaning the winning was smaller that the loosing chip stack so the rest went to 2nd place.
You have the short stack covered so you get the bounty. If you had 999 (not 2000) then the guy with 5000 would get the bounty.
The guy in second lost 4k in total. He lost 5k to you but gained 1k from the side pot and also the bounty.
