More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Vector Group (formerly Brooke Group) is the smallest part of Big Tobacco. The holding company's Liggett unit, the #5 US cigarette maker, makes Eve premium cigarettes as well as generic and discount lines. The firm also owns about 56% of New Valley (investment banking and brokerage firm Ladenburg Thalmann and real estate holdings in the US and Russia). Federal lawsuits against Big Tobacco seek to recover health care costs and profits from fraud. Liggett is exempt from a $206 billion settlement with the states; it will appeal a $790 million verdict rendered in Florida. CEO Bennett LeBow owns about 41% of Vector.
