you would be surprised how many wars have been prevented because of that.
Pretty much, yeah.
These Russian millionaires and billionaires, the ones who backed Putin for much of his reign, are pissed at him because his "special operation" fucked everything up for them.

Precisely.
Modern Russia is essentially a kleptocracy run by gangsters who have little interest in Putin's Tsar LARP. Now that it's actively effecting them, Putin can live out his dream...by discovering Tsars rarely died of natural causes...
Yep.
Support for him has quickly eroded, the people who covered for him in the past are now pissed at him so everyone can see the "cracks", and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he were killed or had an "accident" some time in the future.
Including, perhaps, some that shouldn't have been.
I think you might also find that a lot of wars happened for which there was no reason, other than that the government of country A was doing something that the rich boys of country B felt was setting a limit on the extent to which they could party away at everyone else's expense.
The banana wars are a good example of what you're talking about.
Looks like the Kremlin met with Prigozhin and top Wagner leadership only a few days after the mutiny. Both sides took time to air their point of view of events before working on how to move forward from it all.
This goes along with earlier reports by the BBC that Wagner was still recruiting in Russia despite rumors that they would soon no longer exist.
General Surovikin's status remains a mystery as of yet.

Russian MoD released video of them removing heavy equipment from Wagner PMC control. Quite the impressive arsenal. Unsure how wide scale this disarmament of heavy equipment will be but it might impair their future ability to shoot down Russian aircraft with impunity within Russia itself.
Meanwhile this story came out over a day ago but I sat on it in case of new developments but it seems to just be a theory IMHO.
A retired US General and current ABC News Military Analyst, Robert Abrams, stated that he believes Prigozhin is dead or jailed and the publicized meeting with Putin was faked.

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin likely dead, Putin meeting probably faked, retired general says
Retired US Gen. Robert Abrams said he believes Yevgeny Prigozhin is either dead or imprisoned.

It's Russia: It wouldn't surprise me if he's rotting in a ditch somewhere and a dog and pony show was put on for the world's/Russian public's eyes.
Given how utterly confident Prigozhin appeared to be in all this, they would have had to do something quite clever to lull him into enough complacency for a kill operation.
I'm dubious, however, as, "We killed Prigozhin but are keeping it secret." is pretty much just as bad for Putin's image as Prigozhin actually getting awway with it.

Depends on how many other fish you're trying to catch. Also seizing heavy weapons will be easier if the Wagner mercs still think he's alive.
What does this have to do with the Wagner rebellion?
Nice video summarizing the events of the Wagner Mutiny from a Youtuber I recently discovered called War Archive. His videos even come with animated maps!
Significant Wagner forces are heading back to Russia. Apparently Lukashenko wanted Wagner Mercs in the country until he realized he had to pay for their services. Sad.

Hmmm there were earlier social media posts today that Prigozhin was in Africa.
