In the process of the investigation, even being in the United States, it took Harry Sinclair several years. How long did it take?
It wasn't until Herbert Hoover succeeded Coolidge as President of the United States, as the Democratic Party's power grew stronger, that Herbert Hoover reluctantly agreed to the trial of this matter.
The oil field lease contracts signed by Sinclair Oil Corporation and Pan American Petroleum Company with the government were illegal, thus null and void. Secretary of the Interior Albert Furr was imprisoned for bribery and sentenced to one year in prison.
As the heads of Sinclair Oil Corporation and Pan American Petroleum Company, Harry Sinclair and Edward Doheny, however, managed to remain above the law.
It was not until 1929 that the Senate sentenced Harry Sinclair to prison on dual charges, while Edward Doheny remained unpunished!
Laze Madison asked Archibald Roosevelt: "What if Harry Sinclair doesn't leave the United States?"
