E.g.:

But because he was tired, or married to a much younger woman, or 
overconfident of his ability to escape, Guzman began spending time in 
Culiacan and other cities. "Here's a guy who has made hundreds of 
millions of dollars in the drug trade, and he's living like a pauper up 
in the mountains" [...]

Guzmánhad other weaknesses. "He loves the gourmet food," a D.E.A.
official told me. From time to time, he would be spotted at an elegant 
restaurant in Sinaloa or in a neighboring state. The choreography was 
always the same. Diners would be startled by a team of gunmen, who would 
politely but firmly demand their telephones, promising that they would 
be returned at the end of the evening. Chapo and his entourage would 
come in and feast on shrimp and steak, then thank the other diners for 
their forbearance, return the telephones, pick up the tab for everyone, 
and head off into the night.
