Hmm. Did some digging.

Harry Ford Sinclair - "Harry Ford Sinclair (July 6, 1876 in Benwood, West Virginia – November 10, 1956 in Pasadena, California) was an American industrialist, founder of Sinclair Oil. He was implicated in the 1920s Teapot Dome Scandal, and served six months in prison for jury tampering. Afterwards he returned to his former life and enjoyed its prosperity until his death.

He was an avid owner of sports properties, one of the principal financial backers of baseball's Federal League and a force in U.S. thoroughbred racing. Horses from his stable won the Kentucky Derby and three Belmont Stakes." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Ford_Sinclair

Interesting thing I noticed was his involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal, I had forgotten about that incident…it's been a long time since my high school history class.

"The Teapot Dome scandal was a bribery scandal involving the administration of United States President Warren G. Harding from 1921 to 1923. Secretary of the Interior Albert Bacon Fall had leased Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming, and two locations in California, to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding. The leases were the subject of a sensational investigation by Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Convicted of accepting bribes from the oil companies, Fall became the first presidential cabinet member to go to prison; no one was convicted of paying the bribes.

Before the Watergate scandal, Teapot Dome was regarded as the "greatest and most sensational scandal in the history of American politics".[1] It damaged the reputation of the Harding administration, which was already severely diminished by its controversial handling of the Great Railroad Strike of 1922 and Harding's veto of the Bonus Bill in 1922.[2]"

Another thing I noticed about his bio, it doesn't seem to list any wives or other family members. No sons or daughters. I wonder why.

Found a wife - Elizabeth Farrell

Not much info though, feel free to dig.
