In 1838, Majors became a naturalized Mexican citizen and, at least temporarily, changed his name to Juan José Crisostomo Mayor. In 1839, Majors married María de los Angeles Castro (1818-1903), daughter of José Joaquín Castro of Rancho San Andrés. Majors' new status as a Mexican citizen and member of the Castro family allowed him to apply for and receive the grant of Rancho San Agustin (today's Scotts Valley). Majors then acted as middleman to obtain the additional grant of Rancho Zayante for Graham, who was not a Mexican citizen and therefore was not allowed to own land.

In May 2010, Ćalasan was mentioned in the Serbian media in connection to the controversial 2005 satellite rental contract in which another one of his companies, Camira Creek Corporation based in the Virgin Islands, acted as middleman between the Serbia and Montenegro state union and Israeli company Image Sat International. Ćalasan was reportedly involved in the negotiations between the two parties since the fall of 2004 at which time Serbia and Montenegro was represented by its defense minister Prvoslav Davinić and its president Svetozar Marović. Davinić eventually signed off on the contract for the rental services of the EROS satellite for €45 million. According to allegations, the deal had not been authorized by the Serbian state authorities and the entire affair came under investigation conducted by the Serbian justice and defence ministries.

Plagued by financial difficulties, in 1625 Charles took the drastic step to pawn away several important items of jewellery in the Netherlands, most likely in The Hague, one of the centres of the jewel trade. While Charles managed to eventually scrape together enough money to redeem certain jewels some 14 years later in 1639, the same could not be said for the Mirror. The jewel was likely sold to Hague jeweller and gemstone dealer Thomas Cletcher, who recorded an item very similar to the Mirror in his sketchbook with the note that it had been "commissioned by Coninc Jacobus". The theory is bolstered by the fact that it was also Cletcher who again acted as middleman or buyer when Charles' wife Henrietta Maria attempted to sell off even more of the crown jewels in 1644.
