LeBow . . .
In 1985, Bennett LeBow acquired MAI Systems.
In 1986, LeBow acquired Liggett & Myers.
In 1987, he acquired Western Union.
... LeBankrupt.
In 1992, Western Union, renamed New Valley Corporation,
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In 1993, MAI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
That same year, Liggett - by then known as Brooke Group - admitted that it
might have to seek protection from creditors in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
All the while, LeBow enriched himself, at one point forcing shareholders to
take him to court to recover $16 million in loans and $6.25 million in
preferred dividends that LeBow had paid to himself.
ANY QUESTIONS?
For RJR Nabisco shareholders, the question is simple: Now that LeBow has cost
the tobacco industry more than $10 billion in stock price value through his
recent "settlement" pact with plaintiffs' attorneys, will RJR Nabisco become
the latest chapter in his history of irresponsible self-dealing?
