Reverse psychology helped him save money
This could be a sad or clever hack. It is up for debate. The uncle of @africaquiche decided to troll the family by asking for money, with the intention of them never asking for money from him again. Unaware of his goal, his nephew wondered whether he needed the money and asked for his bank account information.
It’s hard to say whether letting his nephew in on the secret was a clever or a sad move on the uncle’s part. After all, asking for money is unpleasant enough as it is, and he did it so openly. Hopefully, the family has ceased bothering this poor uncle.
