"President Grant was particularly affected because it appears that everyone in his administration spent a lot of time, attention, and resources making themselves rich."
But Grant himself didn't benefit financially from these things- he just looked the other way while they happened. He was never a terribly good businessman. and was almost reduced to dire poverty after he left the office for participating in an equally phony brokerage scheme (without his knowing it was phony).
