I think Future industries is relatedsomehow to the equalists. When they were loading those trucks in "And the Winner is..." it looked an awful lot like the inside of the future industries factory. Also the equalists have an airship and a ton of palm-tasers, something I don't think they could make on their own. But whose to say future industries couldn't have helped them out.

Another possibility is that Future industries was the one that bribed the refs so Amon could take away the bending of the winners (who could be seen as some of the most powerful benders of the city) without conflicting with his plans to leave the Avatar for last. But then if that were true why would FI sponsor the FF in the first place? They could have just avoided the whole situation in the first place by not giving them the chance to participate by simply not sponsoring them. this could have been a way to avoid suspicion because the sponsor of the avatar's probending team couldn't possibly be working for Amon. Also it may have been a way to keep the avatar distracted from the revolution and other important things in the city.

The one thing I can't really see is Hiroshi working with Amon. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I guess it could be an act. But I also wouldn't be surprised if he was innocent and it was actually Asami going behind his back. That would be a perfect way for her to get close to the avatar and her friends so she could spy for Amon. Also her moped helmet reminded me of a chi-blockers mask (whcih doesn't really mean anything). And if she was working with Amon it would provide an excelent way for the writers to end her relationship with Mako.
