En 1681 los oficiales de la Real Audiencia de Lima secuestraron una chacara en el Valle de la Magdalena, como parte de los bienes de don Sebastián de Navarrete, contador de la Caja Real de Lima, por orden del monarca. Unas semanas después, el arrendatario y el nuevo dueño de la propiedad demandaron su restitución alegando que nunca había pertenecido al contador sino a su hija doña Silvestra, quien la obtuvo por compra y donación de una parienta. La consecuente investigación para determinar a quién pertenecía dicha finca puso al descubierto el minucioso proceso que el contador Navarrete elaboró para justificar un estilo de vida lujoso, que excedía a su salario. Apoyado por un extenso círculo de allegados, Navarrete forjó el conocimiento público de un patrimonio acaudalado empleando registros notariales y difundiendo su contenido, lo cual le permitió evadir cuestionamientos a sus labores en la caja real, al menos temporalmente. Em 1681, funcionários da Real Audiência de Lima apreenderam uma fazenda no Vale do Magdalena como parte da propriedade de Dom Sebastián de Navarrete, contador do Real Tesouro de Lima, por ordem do monarca. Algumas semanas depois, o inquilino e o novo proprietário do imóvel entraram com uma ação judicial para restituí-lo, alegando que o imóvel nunca pertencera ao contador, mas sim à sua filha, Sra. Silvestra, que o havia obtido por meio de compra e doação de um parente. A investigação subsequente para determinar quem era o proprietário do imóvel revelou o processo meticuloso que o contador Navarrete usava para justificar um estilo de vida luxuoso que excedia seu salário. Apoiado por um grande círculo de associados próximos, Navarrete conscientizou o público sobre sua considerável riqueza usando registros notariais e disseminando seus conteúdos, o que lhe permitiu evitar perguntas sobre seu trabalho no tesouro real, pelo menos temporariamente.
