  Educate Yourself - Albert Wiggin
Albert Henry Wiggin was born in 1868 in Medfield, Massachusetts.
Wiggin cut some of his fellow executives in on the action (sound familiar?) and all parties borrowed from the bank to pay for their holdings.
Wiggin retired from Chase in 1932, at which point he was awarded with a $100,000 pension by the board, only to have to renounce it when the new chairman questioned the validity.

 Wiggin, Albert H(enry) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Wiggin, Albert H(enry)
He enhanced his and the bank's position by serving on 59 corporate boards, and arranged seven mergers, the largest of which was with the Equitable Trust Company.
His reputation was damaged by a Congressional probe of 1933, which found that Chase, like other banks, circumvented the law through its affiliates, and that Wiggin had used his ‘official and fiduciary position for private profit’.

 Albert H. Wiggin | 20th Century American Leaders Database
When Wiggin joined Chase in 1904, it was a modest bank with assets of just $250 million.
Wiggin's numerous business ties helped gain a tremendous amount of business for both the parent bank and the securities firm.
More significant, however, was Wiggin's impressive string of bank mergers, of which there were 7 in total, which not only brought the Rockefeller family into the Chase enterprise, but also helped increase the bank's assets to a total of $2.7 billion.

Albert H. Wiggin, boss of the nation's second biggest commercial bank, the Chase National, is a study in comparison and contrast to Mitchell.
In 1928 a national bank examiner reported that Wiggin "dictates the policies of the bankt" and was "the most popular banke in Wall Street"; the previous year the popular dictator, without informing the bank examiner or virtually anyone else.
Even Wiggin seems to have acted acceptably by his own curious lights He had a faculty for convienient, sentimental self-deception; it was he who later spoke feelingly of the 1929 market as a gift from God, and he maintained to his death, with evident sincerity, that his Chase short sales had been entirely proper.
