First, the "Ohio Gang" wasn't really made up of gangsters. It was a group of politicians and business leaders who became friendly with Mr. Harding when he was still a senator from Ohio. Unfortunately, he was not always able to say "no" to his friends: when he became president, some of these men turned out to be involved with get-rich-quick schemes or corrupt business dealings. And while there is little evidence that President Harding was also involved, he did nothing much to stop them, which contributed to giving his administration a bad reputation.
