Teapot Dome Scandal
The Teapot Dome Scandal occurred in Wyoming in 1920. The Wyoming land involved in the scandal was the Teapot Dome Oil Field, located in Natrona County, Wyoming. Teapot Rock is an eroded sandstone formation located about 25 miles north of the city of Casper in the southwestern Powder River Basin. About six miles east of the rock is the southern boundary of the Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve.The Elk Hills and Buena Vista Oil Fields in Kern County, California were also part of the Teapot Dome Scandal.
Prior to the Watergate scandal, the teapot dome was known as the greatest scandal in American History. Teapot Dome is an oil field on public land in Wyoming. In the Warren Harding Administration, misuses of power for private gain had been rampant. The extent of these infractions only became clear with the public disclosure of the "Teapot Dome Scandal." A naval oil reserve was leased to private individuals by the Secretary of the Interior. He was convicted and sentenced to a year in prison. The Teapot Dome Scandal was part of a larger pattern of misconduct that had taken place during the Harding Administration. In early 1923, Colonel Charles Forbes was found guilty of stealing from the government. It was estimated that he and his accomplices stole tens of millions of dollars in connection with the building of a Veteran's hospital. The Teapot Dome Scandal itself began when Secretary of Interior Albert Fall convinced Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby to transfer to him the control of the Naval Reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming and Elk Hills, California. Fall then leased the land to oilmen Harry Sinclair and Edward L. Dohenry, after receiving a $100,000 bribe. Fall was ultimately convicted of receiving a bribe, and served one year in prison. Sinclair and Dohenry were found not guilty.

Yes, there were; in fact, some historians believe Harding's administration was one of the most corrupt. Part of this was due to Harding's willingness to hire his friends and look the other way when they did wrong; Harding himself did not seem to profit from most of the wrongdoing-- he just couldn't discipline his friends, several of whom were caught accepting bribes and kickbacks, and one was even guilty of fraud. Among the biggest scandals in Harding's presidency was the Teapot Dome scandal, which involved public officials taking bribes and making questionable decisions about leasing government property.
Yes, at least part of it.
