Timeline edit

From ADN.[1]

  • 1995-2001: Veco CEO Bill Allen “corruptly authorized” hiring state “Senator B,” who was not yet in office, as a consultant. “Senator B” fits the description of Ben Stevens.[1]

2002 edit

  • January 2002: Stevens is now a state senator and he continues receiving Veco payments for consulting. However, these new payments were not for private work but rather for “taking official acts” as a legislator. He collects $243,250 from Veco from 2002 through last August.[1]

2004 edit

  • July 21: Anchorage lobbyist Bill Bobrick, representing an Outside private prison firm, tells a confidential source in a conversation federal investigators recorded that, for a price, Anchorage Rep. Tom Anderson would be “our boy in Juneau.”[1]
  • Aug. 17: Anderson tells the source he would help the prison firm in exchange for $24,000.[1]
  • Aug. 23: Anderson deposits the first of three payments, totaling more than $6,000, from a company allegedly set up to launder money for him.[1]

2005 edit

  • Sept. 26: Eagle River Rep. Pete Kott allegedly calls Veco vice president Rick Smith and says, “I need a job,” to which Smith replies, “You’ve got a job; get us a pipeline.”[1]

2006 edit

January

  • Jan. 8: As Legislature gets ready to meet, Kott allegedly calls Allen to learn “what our instructions are” concerning oil tax and natural gas pipeline legislation.[1]

February

  • Feb. 21: Then-Gov. Frank Murkowski unveils a bill to start taxing crude oil based on oil company profits rather than production levels. The governor says the tax reform was part of a deal with Exxon Mobil, BP and Conoco Phillips on a gas pipeline contract.[1]
  • Feb. 23: Wasilla Rep. Vic Kohring, who offered to help Veco, allegedly accepts $1,000 in cash from Allen.
  • Feb. 25: Allen tells another Veco executive to classify one of Allen’s personal expenses as a corporate expense, which would lower Veco’s federal tax bill.[1]
  • Feb. 28: Exxon and BP executives warn lawmakers that imposing a higher tax rate than the 20 percent of profits the governor proposes might undo the gas pipeline deal. (Veco also lobbies strongly for no changes.)[1]

March

  • March 23: Juneau Rep. Bruce Weyhrauch calls Veco and leaves a message that he wants to talk to Allen about the oil tax and other issues.[1]
  • March 30: Kohring tells Veco executives he owes $17,000 on a credit card. He asks for a loan or a job. They discuss how to structure a loan without raising “red flags.” Kohring accepts at least $600 cash from Allen then asks what he could do “for you guys.” He agrees to lobby other lawmakers to support oil tax legislation favored by Veco.[1]

April

  • April 24: Senate passes an oil-tax bill that would tax oil at a rate of 22.5 percent.[1]

May

  • May 4: As legislative session winds down and Veco presses for the 20 percent tax rate, Weyhrauch mails his resume to Allen. Veco executives believe his job request is connected to how he will vote on oil taxes.[1]
  • May 7: During House floor debate on oil taxation, Allen and Smith call Kott by cell phone and tell him how to vote. Later that night, Kott tells Allen he had to “cheat, steal, beg, borrow and lie” to defeat an amendment for a higher oil tax rate. Allen responds, “I own your ass.”[1]
  • May 9: Regular session ends with no new oil tax: Senate fails to concur with a House-approved 21.5 percent rate.[1]
  • May 10: First special legislative session begins to consider oil-tax rate.[1]
  • May 24: Weyhrauch tells Veco executives that he isn’t doing well financially. They discuss his request for employment.[1]

June

  • June 1: Kott tells Allen he wants to be a lobbyist after he leaves the Legislature. Allen responds, “Well, you will be.”[1]
  • June 1: Allen gives Kott $1,000 cash in a hotel room to reimburse his contribution to a candidate in the governor’s race.[1]
  • June 5: Allen calls Stevens to discuss a strategy for killing gas-pipeline legislation Veco doesn’t support. Allen tells Stevens he wants him to work for Veco as an executive.[1]
  • June 8: Legislators adjourn special session after failing to agree on oil-tax rate.[1]
  • June 22: “Senator A,” unidentified in the court documents, tells Smith that another lawmaker needs money.[1]
  • June 25: Allen meets “Senator A” and the unnamed lawmaker and says he could raise $25,000 for the lawmaker’s campaign. The lawmaker said he needed to be sure he was willing to support the legislation Veco favored. Veco never raised this money.[1]

July

  • July 11: Stevens and Allen discuss the need to maintain secrecy that the senator planned to become a Veco executive after the 2006 legislative session. They agree that Stevens, then the Senate president, needs to ensure passage of specific legislation before they disclose his job at Veco.[1]
  • July 12: Veco allegedly pays $2,750 for a poll for Kott’s re-election campaign. Legislators begin second special session.[1]

August

  • Aug. 2: Veco’s Smith allegedly instructs a Veco employee to pay a fraudulently inflated invoice, totaling $7,993, to Kott’s Hardwood Flooring. Kott calls the transaction “foolproof.” The payment is drawn from Allen’s personal checking account.[1]
  • Aug. 10: Legislators approve new oil tax setting rate at 22.5 percent tax of profits.[1]

December

  • Dec. 6: Anderson indicted for money laundering, extortion and bribery. He pleads not guilty several days later. His trial is set for June 25.[1]

2007 edit

May

  • May 4: Kott, Kohring and Weyhrauch indicted for conspiracy to commit extortion and bribery. Kott also indicted for wire fraud and Weyhrauch for mail fraud.[1]
  • May 7: Allen and Smith plead guilty to bribing Alaska lawmakers.[1]
