Q:
¿Qué significa prey to a thousand cuts from penny-pinching bureaucrats,?
A:
The expression "fall prey to ~" means to become a victim of ~. "Prey" literally means 餌食, so you can imagine ~ being a predator, and its victim becomes its prey. In this case, the "penny-pinching bureaucrats" (けちな官僚) are the predator.
"Thousand cuts" comes from the expression "death by a thousand cuts", which refers to allegedly Chinese method of execution where the execution keeps cutting little pieces from the victim until they die. Used metaphorically, it refers to sustaining a small amount of damage every time, but due to how many times you sustain that damage, you die anyway.
So if someone is "prey to a thousand cuts", it means they were victimized numerous times, but for a small amount of damage each time.
