Even if the White Fang had so much Dust that they had to sell it, there's no way that they would just sell it to Cinder because she was offering to be a buyer. And then I don't think they'd continue to go on Dust raids with her when they acquired the Dust originally by accident from Blake in the train incident.

There's something else at work here. Either Cinder's not a normal human and she has something to do with Faunus or she's just a really damn powerful human and you don't get on her bad side or the White Fang leader's striking some sort of bargain with her personally and everyone else is just getting swept up for the ride.

As for Roman, they said he broke out of prison earlier. That might have been Cinder's doing so that she has an expert thief under her command. Then she just gives him grunts from White Fang to move things along. (This leaves the mooks from Junior. Why did Roman use them? I guess we'll find out later.)
