Well at one point after coup every theory about what happened seemed reasonable to many people in Turkey. "That seems reasonable, that also seems reasonable, hmm that is also possible..." However I don't think it is (all) fake. Because many high ranked generals risked their lives and there were moments where the winner is unknown. The coup was a failure because: they had no people or political party support, they were forced to act quickly(Government would purge most of the generals in incoming days), they couldn't get the support of all military personnel. Probably, this was their last hope for power-grab and they gambled.
