Fbi Agent Chris Saviano

After three years of standing stoically on the street corners of Chicago, Farhad Khoiee-Abbasi has stepped it up. Or actually, he's sat it down: The man with the blank stares and the loud signs has finally taken a seat.

The legend of Farhad Khoiee-Abbasi goes like this: There's a man so consumed with his long-fought legal battle with his ex-wife (which has resulted in protection orders for her, custody rights lost for him) that he has gone from being an everyday Chicagoan to being a Chicagoan you can see almost every day on the street corner holding a jarring sign or two.
