You wouldn't be in on this.

My comment:

"sur ce coup" is fairly casual, so I thought it required a casual tone. It sounds like they are up to no good?

My comment:

With no context, one can't know what the coup is here.
It can be just about anything. Your questions are impossible to answer for lack of context.
