Obviously, my friend had not obtained NOTAMs, because he landed at an
airport that was NOTAMed closed.

So what if he knew the airport was closed (complied with the regulations)
and decided to go shoot touch and goes there anyhow?


Then I imagine he would have got off scott-free. But the fact
remains that he did not know the airport was closed and the FAA knew
that because there was no record of an FSS or DUATS briefing.

I understand what you're getting at and have agreed with the fact
that it's not illegal to land at an airport that has been NOTAMed
closed. My point was more along the lines of what happens if you land
at a closed airport that you didn't know was closed by NOTAM. The
absence of X's doesn't mean you're out of the woods.
