If the uncle hadn't been so insistent on repaying the original poster of the story, they might've not cared as much about the $700. But, the very fact that their uncle bragged about being good for the money and, in the same breath, cashes out big time without repaying them—causes a major issue.
Of course, treating his recovering daughter to a relaxing vacation is not a crime. The fishy part is that a Maldives vacation for the entire family is likely well into the tens of thousands of dollars, yet the user hasn't gotten back the relatively small amount of $700 they had lent their uncle. If the uncle truly intended to pay back his debt to his nibling, he would've made sure to give it to them before booking a luxury trip for multiple people. Now, the 22-year-old might've been able to speak to their uncle in private about the repayment, but the Maldives trip lit a fuse—they air out their grievances in front of the whole family to send a message.

22-year-old exposes 43-year-old uncle's $700 unpaid debt to him during a family dinner after uncle brags about booking a trip to the Maldives: ‘You can afford all that but not repay my debt’
Money can cause a lot of issues. Though just a piece of little green paper, money makes the world go round (or, it makes the world stop spinning). We all bow down to the dollar because it's what we use to acquire things—food, housing, trips to the Maldives—you name it!
Lending money to people is a bit daunting when you're unsure of if they'll ever be able to give it back to you. It's one thing if you give someone money without expecting repayment, but when you come to an agreement with the borrower and become someone's makeshift loan shark, you want that money back as soon as possible.
With family, lending money becomes a bit tricky. You don't want to breathe down your relative's neck and you hope they are literally good for the money, but stories like the one you're about to read prove that even relatives might try to pull a fast one on you. No one wants to micromanage someone else's wallet, but if their wallet was once full because of you, you have every right to demand the money you lent them—no interest, just give me my money!
The user who posted this story lent their uncle $700 when he needed some extra cash. The user explains that they had no issue with helping their uncle out in a tight spot, but repayment was discussed and expected. Their uncle kept pushing it off, but things finally come to a head when their uncle announces that he came into a large sum of money and he's taking the family to the Maldives. His wallet's no longer empty, but the user hasn't seen the $700 since they lent it to him. Scroll to read the entire story.
