Re: cut truss
As a bare minimum starting point, I'd run rafter ties *at the top plate level* every 4 feet and make them large enough to look like beams (for cosmetic purposes). These *should* *help* prevent the walls from being pushed outward by the roof load.
That's what I'd do if it were mine.
BUT ... Jim said it best with "I hope you got a real good deal, cuzz your screwed.", then added the real answer "The truss is now useless since some dumb azz cut the bottom chord. The best fix is to get an engineer to design a proper fix, that will probably be cheaper in the long run too."
I certainly won't argue with a statement like that.
