Moderators often resubmit submissions with fake time. (I pretty much hate this. I don't like people lying things about me, like I was using HN at a time I wasn't. Be aware of this.)

Why?

It's an invasion of privacy. Imagine that a post appears under your name with a date/time where you are supposed to be working. If you are paid by somebody else, this may get you into trouble, or even fired.

In fairness in such an extreme situation it seems likely there would be a conversation where you'd have the opportunity to explain.
