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.
