I agree with you, where does she get her financing?

Here's my theory:

Who has to gain from dust theft? Who would gain from increased security and who would gain from having the White Fang blamed?

Maybe someone close to one of our main character? Someone like the head of the biggest dust manufacturer in Remnant?
