Young once described him as "the most colorful and attractive figure in the commercial banking world" of his time. Wiggin was the Director of privately owned Federal Reserve Bank of New York 1932–33. Wiggin was also the only member of the Federal Reserve Bank to have a law written precisely against his actions, the “Wiggin Provision”, when Albert was forced to “resign in disgrace after it was revealed that he had been short-selling his own bank’s stock”
