How about focusing on debating the argument, not the argumenter?

What we know is that Roman is assembling dust - by robbing as much as by buying it, evidently. For what purpose we don't know yet.

Now, if someone is massing a hoard of dust, the question to me appears legitimate as to who else controls a load of Dust, that one would potentially want to counter. An obvious answer is the SDC as the source of Dust mining. And - may be - also the source of control over the distribution of Dust, meaning who gets access to it in what quantities (and quakities?). That would make the SDC the ultimate target, which I concede is nothing but a hypothesis so far.

In that scenario Beacon Academy could be a raid target for their (probable) Dust stores.

It also IMHO may well be that Roman's motives are purely between him and SDC - be it for power or against its market domination - and has no direct relation whatsoever to the rising Grimm threat, which may be a totally separate story arc.
