How Wall Street Rigs the Game Ft. Peter Antico and Sean Stone

Andrew Maguire is a well-known figure in the precious metals industry, primarily recognised as a whistleblower and expert on gold and silver markets. With nearly 50 years of experience as a commodities trader, he has become a key voice on market manipulation in the precious metals sector, particularly within the COMEX (Commodity Exchange) markets.

As an independent Loco London metals trader and analyst, Maguire has delivered Precious Metals Advisory and Trading services to international hedge fund managers, bullion banks, metal traders, and some of the world’s largest financial institutions. His established relationships with regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), underscore his trusted role in the industry.

In 2010, Maguire brought global attention to silver market manipulation through a whistleblower testimony to the CFTC, cementing his reputation as a highly credible authority in the precious metals community.

Today, he continues to provide his insights into precious metals and financial markets as a regular commentator on the Live from the Vault podcast, where he explores trends and developments shaping the global financial landscape.

Pete brings a rare crossover between Hollywood and Wall Street, drawing on a family background steeped in finance and law to bring authenticity to the financial world on screen. Rather than pursuing the career in finance that much of his family followed, Pete chose the film business — but that grounding in markets and economics has become a recurring thread throughout his work.

He is the Founder and President of Ethical Media Group, a production company applying blockchain technology to tokenize content ownership in entertainment. 

Pete wrote and directed The Paradigm of Money, a 2022 documentary co-produced with Sean Stone that examines Wall Street corruption and the transfer of wealth during the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on interviews with financial experts across the spectrum. 

In 2017, he also ran for SAG-AFTRA National President on a platform of financial transparency, raising concerns about how the union’s pension fund and finances had been handled. 

His most notable expression of this was on Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, where Pete didn’t just act — he consulted on the production, lending his economic knowledge to help shape the film’s portrayal of high finance, before stepping in front of the camera himself to play a hedge fund manager.

Beyond that project, Pete has built a career as an actor, producer, writer and director across major studio films including The Hunt for Red October, Con Air, Lethal Weapon III and The Other Guys, and has produced documentary work exploring the psychological and human stories behind extraordinary achievement.

Sean is an actor, filmmaker, director, producer and television host known for exploring stories at the edges of mainstream media — from geopolitics and the “deep state” to spirituality and the paranormal. The son of Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone, he grew up on the sets of films including Platoon, Wall Street, JFK and The Doors before moving from acting into directing and producing his own documentary and feature work.

Sean produced The Paradigm of Money (2022) alongside Pete Antico, a documentary exploring Wall Street corruption and the wealth shifts driven by the 2008 crisis and the pandemic, made in the aftermath of the AMC and GameStop short-squeeze saga. He has also hosted programmes including Buzzsaw and Watching the Hawks, and previously hosted a show on RT America until it shut down in 2022.

Sean was interviewed by Tucker Carlson in a wide-ranging conversation on Freemasonry, secret societies and spirituality (see episode on X). He has since appeared on the Danny Jones Podcast, discussing his experience being initiated into Freemasonry and the “occult architecture” behind global elites (see YouTube interview). 

His recent projects include the documentary series Best Kept Secret and RFK: Legacy, made in collaboration with his father. He has spoken widely on media, politics and consciousness, and describes the current podcast landscape as part of a broader cultural “great awakening.”
