Vertaling van "but others have stepped in now who have much deeper pockets " (Engels → Frans) :

We made an investment, but others have stepped in now who have much deeper pockets, if you will, than the federal government for that.
Nous avons investi au départ, mais il y a maintenant d'autres investisseurs dans ce domaine qui ont les poches beaucoup plus profondes, si je puis dire, que le gouvernement fédéral.
