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.
