The Teapot Dome Scandal centered around the secret leasing of federal oil reserves to private oil companies. The Secretary of the Interior, Albert Bacon Fall, received gifts of cash and other considerations from these companies.
Warren G. Harding
Harding took office on March 4, 1921. Some of the dishonesty that produced the scandal no doubt started as soon as the perpetrators took charge of their offices. November , 1921 was when Secretary of Interior Albert Fall was given interest-free "loans" by two oil company presidents who were soon given favorable leases for the Tea Pot Dome fields which the government controlled.

The corruption was not under Harding it was under his secretary of Interior Albert Fall
He was the biggest crook in the Harding administration. He was Secretary of the Interior and he leased the Navy's oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming and Elks Hill, California to private oil businessmen Sinclair and Doheny. In return, Fall received "loans" (read bribes) from the two men in the amount of $300,000. He also convinced the President to transferring the oil reserves from the Navy's control to his department, Interior. Fall became the first former cabinet secretary to go to prison. He served nine months of a one year sentence.
