I personally know two people who quit their PhD programs because of fraud. One was given the option to resign and basically not speak about it or face repercuss

  Yes I've personally heard similar stories. Students who were prevented from graduating until they produced significant results, even though their dissertation studies were approved by committees. So they'd eventually resign because they got fed up with it. Or students and postdocs threatened with presenting or publishing null findings that run counter to senior scientists' previously published theories. Etc etc etc
