Looks like more than one board turned sideways to me. There is romex routed through it. (don't forget that that wire needs nail protection)
I would, however, have some concern with the modified trusses. I would recommend that an engineering certificate be provided to the buyer stating that all of the cutting and other modifications are ok.
