My main problem with the original rules is that you can't actually make trades with other players. You have to sell the properties for cash only. Every time I've ever tried to play by this rule no one sells anything and the game goes on forever. If you are playing by the actual rules then I don't see how you could stand playing since the property trading aspect is probably the most fun part about the game.

this is blatantly false

If you read the rules closely the properties can only be "sold." Trades can not happen although the easiest way to do this is to agree to "sell" the properties to each other for a certain amount. However, if one player sells the property before the other then the second player can renig on the "trade" and keep both properties. Obviously, I always play where you can simply trade them because thats the spirit of the rule imo, but its not actually the rule.
