With 15 devs they bought that $22 template for the website: https://themeforest.net/item/ico-crypto-bitcoin-cryptocurrency-landing-page-html-template/21405614
By scrolling you can see that the images are even taken from the template.

I found that info from the code source (https://theimperium.io/assets/js/script.js?ver=124)

No accusation, it's just an info.
