Making me suspect that Cinder herself is a Faunus of some type. It's entirely possible that she is one of the "leaders" of the White Fang itself, though with no mention of Adam beyond Blake's hint that he may have been the leader himself, this is questionable. If she removed Adam, it's more plausible then. I can't see that being something Roman would be happy working towards but we know he's being kept out of the loop because of Cinders comment "You'll know what you need to know when you need to Know it".

I can't remember where it is but on another thread someone theorised that there might be different factions of white fang with Adam being part of a splinter group. It's a theory I've no real opinion of, there are point both on favour and not in favour of it but it would fit with your point.
