		Not long before her death, Christina gave Basualdo some money with which to set up a bank account, which was to be used for payoffs, specifically to quiet her stepbrother, Jamie Blandford (aka, James Spencer-Churchill, Marquess of Blandford; he was the son and heir of her mother's 2nd husband, the 11th Duke of Marlborough).
		Blandford was demanding money from Christina because of an intervention/forced abduction that she had staged in an unsuccessful attempt to get him off heroin.
		There was evidence that Basualdo and Blandford collaborated in a scheme which resulted in Christina losing over $1 million, but she eventually dropped the bank fraud charges against Luis Basualdo and forgave both him and her stepbrother, Jamie Blandford.

	GLOSSARY - BURKE'S GUIDE TO BRITISH TITLES
		Thus the eldest surviving son and heir of the Duke of Marlborough (qv) is called Marquess of Blandford and the latter's son is called Earl of Sunderland, the two titles being among the Duke's lesser substantive ones.
		Such 'loans' are called courtesy titles since their bearers are not substantive peers but only commoners in a relationship of expectancy to their father's (or grandfather's) genuine peerages, and although they may be addressed as titled personages it is by courtesy.
		It is customary to refer in writing to a courtesy marquess, earl or viscount, baron or lord, as 'Marquess of Blandford', 'Earl of Sunderland', etc, without the preceding definite article ('The').
