Large amounts of gil are not, and I'd be willing to argue could never be, an issue.

How does a person earn gil? -- By spending time gathering/creating items and then selling them to people who want them. This is a good thing, always.

How does a person get rich? -- By using their money wisely, not wasting it, but saving it. This doesn't hurt anyone.

Why can large amounts of gil not be abused? -- Because in order for him to buy out markets, he has to give away large amounts of gil. If people are smart they'll just flood the market with these items or farm them themselves, either way if someone tries to jack up prices, it only works as well as people are willing to subject themselves to arbitrary prices.
