Solution

The story that Gatsby does not tell about his past is that he fixed the World Series in 1919. This is a lie told by Meyer Wolfsheim in the novel. Gatsby does claim to be the son of a wealthy family from the "Middle West" (although he's actually from North Dakota, not San Francisco), to have collected jewels and hunted big game in Europe, and to have been educated at Oxford (part of his invented persona), but he never claims to have fixed the World Series.
