Roman's ability to acquire Paladins strongly implies at least somebody in the Schnee company is most likely corrupt. Monty's interview statements strongly imply Cinder is the mastermind of whatever plan is afoot. The possibility I was considering was that Cinder was manipulating both the WF and the SDC, with neither realising she was working with the other, or believing themselves to be a true ally instead. Certainly the inflation of Dust prices stuck out as something the SC gained from Cinder's deeds, and possibly part of a deal, not least since it was imediately followed by Roman ranting about exactly what they had stolen and how there seemed to be no possible use to it all.
