I struggle to feel any sympathy for these crypto miners, especially when the whole of Kazakhstan is struggling and this author is painting the miners as poor victims.

It sounds like the miner interviewed is realistic about his situation; he took a big risk and lost. I agree that the article is trying a little too hard to be neutral.
