If he was doing the job and doing it well, I don't see why it's a big deal. Universities used to be where you had to go to learn something new, but with the internet, anyone can learn anything they choose to.
It does matter for some non-IT positions (economics, law) and big companies tend to create general rules (e.g. everyone has to prove he has degree he claims to have).
Plus, while it does not matter whether you have degree for programming, it does matter whether you lie about it.
