Unfortunately, deleting an AdWords account won't remove the violation; it may actually make it worse. Google will look back several years and disable ads that haven't run for a very long time. Sometimes they even ban accounts that are inactive or deleted!
It is very important to remember: when dealing with Google AdWords, the definition of a violation changes with time. If you violated the current policies in the past, you may still be banned. You take a great risk running there and any and all warnings you get should be dealt with immediately.
That said, seeing an exclusion from organic based on an AdWords suspension is extremely alarming. That may be exactly what the DoJ is looking for in terms of violations by Google.
