Bill Allen, who founded the oilfield services company Veco, has died. In 2007, Allen pleaded guilty to bribing state lawmakers after the FBI secretly videotaped him in his Juneau hotel suite discussing payoffs to legislators.
Allen founded Veco, which was, for years, the state’s largest oilfield services company. He signed lucrative contracts to clean up Alaska’s worst ecological disaster — the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
“He was one of the most powerful people in Alaska because he had the money to give to campaigns,” said Mauer.
