This category overlaps (possibly completely) with a similar category: stories that can't be told, but since you don't need the damaging-if-revealed details and won't pursue them, a sufficiently fictionalized account is released - it gets the "truthy" story across without putting anyone at risk. Favorite example is Richard Marcinko's Red Cell.
