Edward Doheny is a California oil tycoon, which means oil was the way he made money. He was part of a scandal called the Teapot Scandal, where he was accused of a $100,000 bribe to United States Secretary, Albert Fall, during the administration of President Warren G Harding. The scandal involved Albert Fall accepting bribes from oil companies to lease oil reserves at Teapot Dome to them that were originally meant for the nation's navy.
