Plus, he didn't really do anything wrong, to be honest. It seems like the people of Atlas might know that Ironwood didn't order his robots to attack Vale, considering that Jacques himself was like "Can you believe the rest of the world still blames Atlas for that?"

Ironwood actually did things he should've done in response to the situation.


 * He tried to calm the civilians


 * He ordered his troops and robots to protect civilians from Grimm


 * He even killed an Alpha Beowolf that his robots and soldiers couldn't handle


 * He set out to take his ship back from Roman because the Grimm invasion was less manageable without control of the sky. He couldn't have predicted that the robots in his smaller airship would turn on him and cause him to crash land.


 * After crash landing, he issued orders to Glynda and Qrow, telling Glynda to work with nearby Huntsmen to establish a safe zone and telling Qrow to help evacuate Beacon, then said he was going to go take his ship back (just before it crashed).

I'm sure his soldiers could've vouched for him in Atlas and spread the word that Ironwood was not responsible for what happened.
