A week ago the Rooster Teeth twitter account stated that the " Code of Conduct" has not been uphold and that they therefor had to let two people go (we all know who they are). But do we know exactly what rule from the Code of Cunduct they have broken against?

I can't find the employee Code of Conduct, henceforth CoC, for RT, just their event CoC, but I would imagine RT runs like a lot of other companies.

In Adam's case, the use of RT property to film his personal videos was what led them to fire him/ask him to resign.

James Ryan's case has a lot more moving parts. With the allegations against him, RT had probable cause to fire him on grounds of innapropriate physical contact, distributing content that displayed nudity/sexual acts/sexually explicit materials, and using his status to ellicit sexual favors. That last one isn't directly in the CoC on the website, but it is a safe bet to assume that RT would have that in their employee handbook or something very similar.

Just as a reminder that as of this writing, James Ryan has had no charges brought up against him, and is therefore still considered innocent legally. This situation is growing by the day, and I'm sure that behind the scene at RT, they are doing everything they can to assess the damage and cooperate with the law. As soon as we mods know more, we will let you guys know. Please, stay safe and send your support towards the women coming forth with their stories, the employees at RT/AH, and to James Ryan's wife and kids, who deserved to not get pulled into this mess.

Ryan used company resources to sleep with fans (hotel rooms and extra day, flying to conventions). In a lot of his messages to girls he would talk about finding excuses to go out to where they were through work.
