How is it that Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, formerly listed as one of the richest men in the world, was found unwashed and hiding 'in plain sight' with a minumal security force?

Worse yet, he appears to have spent much of his six months of freedom trying to arrange a biopic of himself, with Sean Penn as the chosen star.

Was he recaptured because he was a washed-up, has-been nobody?

Impossible for me to imagine that a former billionaire hadn’t arranged some sort of safe haven in advance, and transportation to get there.
