Actually, that raises some very fun points in regards to this theory.

Firstly, Roman knows nothing about Cinder's plan, but he is trying to find out. He outright asks Cinder indirectly back in Volume 2, only for her to brush him off.

Secondly, we know that Ozpin actually DOES have another way of getting at least some of the Info he sent Qrow to find. They already knew Cinder had infiltrated without Qrow telling them. It has yet to be explained how exactly Ozpin found this out, and it is one of the few pieces of info that Roman could have figured out and passed on.

That said, the fact that Ozpin apparently didn't know about the base in Mountain Glenn before Ruby mentioned it does hole the theory. You can explain it neatly by having Ozpin needing to keep Roman secret from Ironwood, for some reason, but at this point it really does get simpler if Roman is merely a crook.

Which leaves merely the single loose thread of how Ozpin found out about the Infiltrators and how much he actually knows.
