I suppose the sensible thing to do, given your current desire not to press it, would be to keep playing elsewhere as usual and see if they're now "on to you" and then decide whether to sue.

If they seem to know who you are and flat bet you then there'd be no down side to suing, but if not and if you can continue to card count as before then maybe they're not on to you.

Tough call.
I played 4 nights over the last 2 weekends MrV.

An entry in one of the databases, even a pretty devastating one like my last one, 18 months ago, is not a death blow that some think. Unlike 30 years a go with the Griffin "book", this is not a book in the pit that they leaf through. It is a database on a computer in the pit. And only the most recent dozen or 15 entries are the real danger. Once new entries are added and your entry slides to the second and third "page" or screen, it becomes less devastating, as few pit folks look beyond the first page or two unless they are specifically looking for someone. BUT, I like to be extra cautious and give it several months to get buried. My last one I gave a full 6 months out of an abundance of caution.

The other thing to know about the database service is that most casinos subscribe, especially all the major casinos. But different casinos utilize the database differently and some not at all, even though they subscribe. And a surprisingly low number contribute, that is initiate an new entry. Most just "take".

If you are a serious player, the more of this kind of stuff you can know, the better. This is the kind of area that networking is valuable. People think networking is about sharing a good game. Rarely! Players keep that to themselves. But they will share this kind of information.
