Harry Sinclair held a copy of the "Atlantic City Post" in his hands, standing at the entrance of the NYSE, but ultimately, Harry Sinclair did not muster up the courage to go inside.
It wasn't because he hadn't been able to borrow money, which made him certain of his defeat today, but because of an article in the "Atlantic City Post."
The article detailed the reasons why Donnie Block had shorted the Sinclair Oil Corporation.

It turned out that the "Atlantic City Post" published a piece about a very significant project of the Sinclair Oil Corporation.
That was the oil field belonging to Sinclair Oil Corporation, the Teapot Dome oil field!
