I had this exact thing happen a few weeks ago in a company that I have invested in. That didn't quite pan out in the way the would-be coup party likely intended. To put it mildly.

That's pretty accurate. It could have easily killed the company too.

You were approached to participate in a coup and therefore had it squashed? Or a CEO was almost removed during their vacation?

The first. And it was a bit tricky because it wasn't initially evident that it was a coup attempt but they gave themselves away. Highly annoying.
