Not good but if the car is running good now and not blowing blue smoke all is not lost. Some small dirt particles (silica) will be captured by the oil filter as they circulate.
Whatever microscopic wear on the cylinder walls is already done so there is no fixing it.
Do multiple oil and filter changes a few hundred miles apart to try and get the contamination out of the system.
That's really all you can do at this point.
Will you be able to find evidence the engine is ruined and get the place to get you a new engine? I seriously doubt it.

He would probably have to be able to prove they didn't put a filter in and that he didn't just remove it himself, which would be damn near impossible.
