A Columbia University psychiatry professor allegedly romanced a frail, retired Wall Streeter — then swindled him of $1. 3 million so she could buy a home in Greece, his family claimed in a lawsuit. Frank Watrous Hamilton III, then 72, was “vulnerable” after suffering a 2018 stroke “which had a debilitating effect on his mental and physical health,” his son said in Manhattan Supreme Court papers.
