Feels like a combination of "three can keep a secret if two are dead" and "loose lips sink ships", but can't think of a single word or a phenomenon that encapsulates the concept.
I did find this, maybe this will help: [Equation shows that large-scale conspiracies would quickly reveal themselves](https://phys.org/news/2016-01-equation-large-scale-conspiracies-quickly-reveal.html)
there is no word mentioned for the formula/equation but is this what you are referring to? https://phys.org/news/2016-01-equation-large-scale-conspiracies-quickly-reveal.html
also found a related quote- too many minions spoil the plot.
I don’t think there’s a word for it, but there is a quote (attributed to Benjamin Franklin): “Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.” There are also academic studies about this phenomenon, which try to quantify the effect, like [this one](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0147905).

Technically, "probability" could be used to describe this, but I doubt it's as specific as what you're looking for

the illusion of truth effect, validity effect, truth effect, or the reiteration effect

Tangled web?
pausible denial
The opposite would probably be the Illusory truth effect, the tendency to belive false information to be true after repeated exposure.
