Truth is, we don't know for certain that Junior's guys are not still working with Roman. We don't know for certain that the Dust store robberies were all White Fang either. It would make sense to have humans carrying out routine robberies in the parts of town where White Fang members would be more conspicuous and leave the large jobs in more isolated areas like the docks to the White Fang.

I imagine there is definitely going to be some splainin' to do about the fact the mech Ironwood just introduced as "defending the borders later this year" was seen tearing through a busy freeway chasing down a bunch of teenagers. Gonna be a bit hard to cover that up and it would certainly be a damaging blow to their reputation. There are ways to cover up some of it, like maybe they will argue it was some defective model that went wild. Covering up the White Fang and Roman Torchwick connection will be a lot easier. Suppress or doctor footage of the incident, pay off any potential eyewitnesses among the public, and who is going to believe a bunch of kids?

Of course, none of that will protect Ironwood from Ozpin and others who would know the truth. Still, there is a good chance of it being handled secretly.
