As of Papadopoulos testimony, Curtis Heide makes an unfunded arrest based on the $10K marked bills trap which went wrong.

Papadopoulos might have won a counter suit only if he would have an army of layers and the money to run a long legal battle, a fact that was used by Mueller team knowingly against him.
