I like to discuss about it. But I believe that all of your ideas could be wrong.

The robberies began a few months before Volume 1 started. It's possible that the first robbery was the one in episode 1. Roman began working with the White Fang after his original henchmen, which he got from Junior in the Yellow trailer (which happens a few months before Vol. 1), were all taken down by a 15-year old girl. Then, he started using the White Fang by making a deal which is confirmed to be arranged by Cinder herself. If there is a mastermind behind this, that's Cinder, Roman only wants money or some sort of reward.

That being said, the only thing that supports your theory and denies that the White Fang had nothing to do with the robberies before episode 1, was what Weiss said in episode 15.

Weiss: An entire train car full of Dust... stolen

However, what Adam was going to do to the train was blowing it.

Adam: I'll set the charges.

This could mean that the train that was stolen was not the same from the black trailer. But that's still unclear.
