Default Request I-Truss install input

Todays inspection- 10 year old condo. with I trusses. I have only seen them installed with the bottom cord bearing on the sill plate.

To me it looks like someone had never installed I trusses and cut the web so that only the double top cord is taking all the load!

We have all seen our share of improper installs slip past the local building officials but I wanted to ask on the board if you have ever seen this building practice and if so is it correct ? I don't see how this is correct so I am asking for your input and verbiage. thanks in advance.

John
