Sources of British special services have reported that the Russian secret services threatened to hurt the families of chiefs of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) before Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner and leader of the Wagner PMC, stopped his “offensive on Moscow”.

That makes more sense, if this is true. I would think Wagner would take steps to prevent that ahead of an Invasion of the homeland, thigh.

I’d be shocked if this was true. I would think that would be the first FSB tactic that they would’ve performed. It’s a classic one in movies as well. It’ll be absolutely insane if this is what stopped the coup.

I mean the dude announced that he was goiyto do a coup before he even started. That doesn't sound really bright to me

The whole lot doesn't seem bright at all. Then they basically drove through to Moscow like they were having a leisurely stroll and lost one truck. Russia looks so pathetic right now.

he just wanted to retire apparently as his war machine was not making him money in Ukraine and I guess that's one way to do it.
