Pty Ltd was transferred to a Canadian, Thomas Sebastian Cain, who in February 2015 completed a transfer-of-ownership form, declaring to racing authorities that he was the new owner of Azkadellia. He did not declare that he was formerly known as Matthew Thomas Reed and has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in 2007 for smuggling cocaine and ecstasy tablets worth A$211 million into Queensland from British Columbia. On 25 August 2015, Cain completed a transfer of ownership to Ben Connolly, who bought the horse for A$60,000. Private investigator Ken Gamble described the sale as a "deliberate and covert attempt to deceive Racing Victoria and to conceal Foster's beneficial interest in the racehorse". After Gamble met with Racing Victoria in September 2016, the latter reopened an investigation into the bona fides of Azkadellia, banning the horse from racing until stewards completed their inquiry. 2017 arrest On 10 February 2017 Foster was arrested on the Gold Coast for "fraud related issues". He was then extradited to New South Wales over his alleged involvement in a 2013 sports betting scam. On 14 February the matter was mentioned, then adjourned, at Waverley Local Court. The charges are connected to his 2014 'Sports Trading Club' arrest. In March he was refused bail on the grounds that he posed an unacceptable flight risk; this was confirmed by the Supreme Court on 27 July 2017. 2018 bankruptcy In January 2018 Foster was declared bankrupt after failing to pay the ACCC $53,714 in costs. 2018 ordered to testify in murder case In February 2018 a Brisbane magistrate ordered Foster to testify in the murder case against John Chardon, who was accused of murdering his wife, Novy Chardon. Foster claimed that John Chardon had confessed to shooting Novy in the back because she planned to divorce him. Chardon's lawyer did not fight the order. In May 2018 Foster claimed that John Chardon had confessed to shooting his wife and weighing down her body to dispose of it by allowing the outgoing tide to pull it out into Southport Seaway. 2020 arrest On 20 August 2020, Foster was arrested in Port Douglas on alleged links to an international sports trading scam. In May 2021, an arrest warrant was issued for Foster after he failed to attend court at the Downing Centre. On 7 December 2021 Foster was again arrested in Victoria.
