I looked at it considering that the coup attempt never started, and figured that he was claiming that someone dropped a tip and stopped it.

I don't know if ~80 people could complete a coup; it would seem that if the military is loyal to the existing regime, it would fail, and if the military was disloyal no mercenaries are needed.
